Then go shopping for that 300 dollar english wheel and a planishing hammer.
Has anyone here bought and/or used the Harbor Freight English wheel or
pneumatic planishing hammer?
Are they even making them any more? I'm curious how they turned out.

The HF wheel is good for aluminum - passable for light steel.
Is it a lighter-weight build (thin tubing?) which makes it only
passable for light steel and not for heavier panels? What would make
it better? Gusseting?
The planisher works. Not great but decent.
MAN, those things are noisy!
